Meet our members: SYRMIA

The company SYRMIA is one of the first Science and Technology Park Niš members to move in. This team consists of system and embedded programming enthusiasts, and they deal with software development in different domains, starting with system libraries, compilers and emulators, optimized platforms for machine learning, modern graphics cards, all the way to a wide range of areas in the auto industry domain.

They operate at several locations in the region, but they consider Niš to be the branch with the most diverse palette of projects, and as they like to say – with them, cars take driving tests, machine learning works in turbo mode, and TVs are taught smart tricks. Recently, they have been on a mission to transfer gaming to the “cloud.”

Ever since it has been founded, SYRMIA has been dealing in providing services and developing innovative solutions in the field of embedded real time software with special focus on automobile software, consumer devices (TV and SetTop box devices) and computer processors and tools.

Join us on Tuesday, July 12 at 14:00 to hear more about projects they are working on, system software, and the charms and issues in developing it.
